[CD/DVD ed.] PARALLEL_41,
[alias Julia Kent & Barbara De Dominicis]
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
BARBARA DE DOMINICIS, besides using her voice, loves collecting sounds, manipulating them and inventing sound textures. Her projects include The Body_exposed:Poe-Si [with Mirko Signorile and Marco Messina]; Poe-Si [with MarcoMessina/99 Posse and Mirko Signorile]; Cabaret Noir [with Pasquale Bardaro];  Kuul_Ma an experimental audiovisual project in which organic electronic sounds interact with the changing  landscape of visual artist DAVIDE LONARDI. In 2008 she published as a soloist Anti-Gone, a concept album which  bases its narrative on  Greek mythology. In 2008 she began a collaboration with Canadian cellist Julia Kent; their performance  (initially  under  the name of Intermittenze) will soon become a stable project in progress with the name  PARALLEL41 [a musical/visual/improvisatory project released internationally on french record  label BASKARU // may 2012] Her sound works include Whimsical Cartography – selected among the works which will be exhibited in the collective multimedia show E-ArtQuake in commemoration of the earthquake in Irpinia; Re_di_Sound [Radio Papesse], a tribute to Marcel Duchamp (Call for Revolutionary Sounds). Her growing interest in soundscapes leads her to conceive of  A TALE OF TWO CITIES: a series of audio collages designed to portray the similarities and differences of two cities which lie on the same parallel, Naples and New York. This work has become a radiowork produced for Radio Papesse vs Radia network, entitled CROSSINGS. Among her current projects EXQUSITE WHAT [as both curator and creator] a collective inspired by the Surrealist practice  of exquisite corpsesdedicated to the creation of an audio-visual web platform; La Reverie/La Sogneria [curator/creator]_a multimedia space linked to dreaming in which, as if inside a globe indexed by locations, issues, and time periods, one can choose to “enter” [in mp3] into the story of a dream orto travel between multiple dreams (in progress). She has recently been invited by GIRRL [GIRRLSOUND :DIGITALGIRRL [an Australian organization supporting women  working in the field of sonic and digital art] to curate and produce a series of radio podcasts entitled  ”THE CAT CINDERELLA” with the aim  of promoting the dissemination of works bywomen artists on the brink between net_art, sound art and audio documentary. With the moniker APRES SOON she is working on a new solo album: a blend of drones and field recordings, electronics, voices and string instruments. B. is currently working at Quasi.Memory: a sound installation which uses rediscovered private memories [old photographs, letters from strangers, sounds of objects no longer in use, semi-forgotten nursery rhymes, etc.]. 
Some audio and visual artists she has recently collaborated with include Leonardo Rosado; Mark Walters aka Savaran; Marco Messina; Mathias Van Eecloo aka Monolyth & Cobalt; Enrico Coniglio; Elio Martusciello, Airchamber 3; Roland Quelven; Andrea Serrapiglio; Ginetta Corelli; Nicolas Bernier; Davide Lonardi; Andrea Ics Ferraris. In 2012 she became a member of   AIPS (ITALIAN SOUNDSCAPES ARCHIVE)


SOUND WORKS
(Audio-sketches are part of an ongoing sound/assemblage documenting Naples and New York. These files are raw material for “A Tale of two Cities”)
Sounds have been gathered in New York and Naples along the imaginary 41° parallel. How a sound alters our perception of temporality and spatiality and accomodate the unexpected?
Recorded with MD Sony, Zoom digital recorder with a stereo microphone and in-ear binaural condenser mics.
